* AwardCategoryFraud: An extreme case in where the fraud was appearing in the wrong awards show. Despite being a television miniseries, it was nominated and eventually won the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Documentary Film. It qualified because ESPN ordered a limited theatrical run in New York and Los Angeles of the series, and that in itself made it eligible to appear at the Oscars. While similar examples specific to the documentary category have happened before in nominations, ''Made in America'''s win caused the Academy to change their rules the following year to prohibit it from happening again. Because of this, the series will likely forever hold the unique distinction of being the only television series to win an Oscar.
